There's a time only truth buys In the early small hours of the morning When you brushed the sleep from my eyes And told me stories Electricity The day scrapes the sidewalk Sugar turns to salt Talk is cheap A half-remembered glance from a dirty window I want to take a little walk In the cool night air and see Which way the wind blows
There's another side to the city A life within a life unknown Like blood in the veins of a body it flows Down the alley nobody knows Checkpoint charlie Eyes from a garbage can Reveal the man Is on his toes I want to take a little walk In the cool night air and see Which way the wind blows
I want to take a little walk In the cool night air and see Which way the wind blows
She gives a sky feeling to the night Waiting 'til you weaken for a moment She'll buy the diamonds If you'll buy the pearls For the moment Electricity The night lights a candle Love turns to fire I want to take a little walk In the cool night air and see Which way the wind blows
There's another time to the city A time within a time undone You can untie a knot You can break a deal You can sell what you bought A cut will heal A bone will mend A road will bend Street light blinding Headlight shining Take a little walk In the cool night air and see Which way the wind blows
